It was a nice day to chill today. I managed to pick-up 3 beetles from my roof deck in less than 30 minutes with me just sitting there.

Not really an insect lover but beetles have always held a special place in my heart :D

Beetle #1.. A shiny bronze colored fella. Flew right into my face, twice lol

Beetle #2.. Had an elytra that is somewhat frosty like a refrigerated grape

Beetle #3.. Was a nasty one. It had mouthparts that could literally bite your skin off

Picked this one outside. This'll make a perfect "tree" for a small arboreal creature. This driftwood really was the highlight of my day lol

Enjoy your monday guys. I sure did! :D
 
That bronze one looks like the beetles we eat every summer o_O  They taste like peanuts when gathered from the right fruit bearing tree like mangoes. I wanna eat some now but I have to go to the next province which is like an hour away 
 
Great driftwood! Gotta love beetles. ;)

It's so interesting to hear you talking about eating bugs so loosely from an australian perspective, wish I was able to chow down on beetles as freely as you. :lol:
 
Haha! Hey derp, i have my resort house up in Baguio. You know how some of us foreigners can't stand the heat downhill lol..

Haven't tasted any beetles yet but i have tried locusts :D

why tt? do they ban this in AUS? I think bugs are a meal healthier than the generic meats. Though the risk of parasites is high.
 
 
All we do is heat them on a pan, add oil then salt.
 
 
Though summer is the only time I get to eat them because its when they are at their highest number

Oh goodness know, I s'pose my ' white ' upbringing has taught my brain to think bugs aren't food. It's a pity. I want to try them, buy I don't think I could do it. :x
